Is there any software for analyzing network speed other than fluke?

One setction of our 250 users network is slower. Is there any software that analyzes the traffic and will narrow down the cause (such as to a neares hub or something)

There are several, depending on the equipment you are monitoring. If it is 3Com equipment, they have a free download of Network Supervisor on their website. And more indepth software to purchase. You must be able to assign the equipment an IP address in order to monitor it with the Network Supervisor software.

I use a packet sniffer also known as a protocol analyzer, network monitor, network analyzer. The one I use is Sniffer Pro. There are several out there that will assist you in identifying where a bottleneck is occuring. There are numerous sites and free trial downloads to acclimate you in using the product. Hope this helps....
